History of Bread in a Jar

While bread has been a staple food for thousands of years, baking it in jars is a relatively modern innovation. It gained popularity for emergency rations during wartimes and later for camping and survival storage. Today, it has evolved into a trendy kitchen hack for meal-preppers, busy professionals, and health-conscious bakers.

🥣 

Ingredients

 (For 1 Large Jar or 2 Small Jars)

• 4 tablespoons oat flour (or almond flour)
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
• 1 egg (or flaxseed egg for vegan)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: herbs (thyme, oregano), garlic powder, chili flakes, seeds (chia, flax)

Instructions & Method

1. Prepare the Jar: Lightly grease the inside of the jar with oil or butter.
2. Mix Ingredients: In the jar, add oat flour, yogurt, oil, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
3. Add Extras (Optional): Toss in herbs, seeds, or spices if desired.
4. Microwave: Place in microwave and cook for 1 minute on high. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick — it should come out clean.
5. Cool Slightly: Let it rest for 30 seconds before eating.

Formation of the Bread

This bread doesn’t rely on yeast, so baking powder becomes the key to rising. The chemical reaction between baking powder, yogurt (acid), and heat causes air bubbles to form, giving it a fluffy texture in just a minute.
